80,000 Generations

Jeffrey E. Barrick · 2024

Barrick Lab News (Substack)

A lab news post marking 80,000 generations of the Escherichia coli long-term evolution experiment. Both papers close by citing it: these populations do not know they are being counted, unlike swarm ecology's organisms, which read what is written about them. It frames the closing standard that findings must survive their own publication (P13).
